Review: LumaSoothe Light Therapy for Pets (2018)

In veterinary medicine, Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) has been used for decades on dogs to treat a variety of health problems. Never heard of LLLT? You're not alone. Most pet owners haven’t heard about it because it's only be available through a veterinarian's office – until now. The LumaSoothe light therapy for pets device can be used to provide this treatment in the comfort of your own home.

When I first heard about the benefits of Low Level Light Therapy for dogs, I immediately became intrigued. If you've read my articles in the past, you know that I opt for natural remedies over traditional western medicine. Through my research on LLLT for pets, I came across a company that has developed a handheld LLLT device for pet owners to use for at-home treatments – LumaSoothe.

There are many testimonies about this small device that claim it has helped pets with ailments from arthritis to surgical wounds. The LED lights that this device is equipped with provide the same therapeutic benefits as laser treatments, but you don't have to worry about any dangerous side effects.

I also had the opportunity to interview the CEO of LumaSoothe, Craig Froley, on my podcast, Theory of Pets. You can listen to the episode here to learn more about LLLT for pets and the benefits of this treatment.

LumaSoothe Light Therapy for Pets Review

In my video review above, you can see that the LumaSoothe light therapy for pets device comes with 2 interchangeable heads. There are 5 wavelengths of light available between the 2 treatment modules.

The first head is for Surface Treatment. It can be used to promote healthier skin and hair, treat eczema and yeast infections, aid in wound healing and can even kill harmful bacteria. It puts out 2,176 milliwatts (mW) of power.

The second is for Deep Treatment. It can be used to relieve pain associated with deep joint and muscle related conditions like hip dysplasia, arthritis, back pain, sprains or strains. It can also be used to reduce inflammation and aid in the healing of deep surgical wounds. It puts out 2,816 mW of power.

The LumaSoothe light therapy for pets device is really easy to use and comfortable to hold in your hand. It's about the size of a tennis ball and only weighs 3.4 ounces. On the bottom of the device you'll see 2 buttons and 2 indicator lights.

The power button turns the device on, and the button with the light will turn the LED lights on and off. The LumaSoothe light therapy for pets tool is designed to run in 15 minute cycles. You can press the light button to pause the cycle for up to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes it will reset.

15 minutes per day is all that it takes to treat your pet. For very serious conditions, your dog may benefit from two 15 minute sessions per day spaced at least 4 hours apart.

Because this is a 100% natural treatment option, it is completely safe for you and your pet.

According to LumaSoothe company, LLLT is completely safe, so you could treat your dog for a longer period of time, and the treatment still wouldn't have any side effects. However, it would be a waste of time, as 15 minutes will give you the maximum benefits and anything more than that won't be any benefit to your dog at all.

The healing benefits of these types of light trigger cellular stimulation to assist the body in relieving pain, reducing swelling and inflammation, increasing circulation, and increasing cellular rejuvenation in a natural way. Pulsating light, like the kind used with the LumaSoothe device, has been proven to provide faster and more efficient cellular response than constant light.

The LumaSoothe light therapy for pets tool is also extremely beneficial to provide preventative therapy for working/athletic dogs.

This remarkable little device allows you to provide LLLT to your pet in the comfort of your own home. No trip to the vet, which is less expensive for you and much more comfortable for your dog. Just one trip to the vet for a light therapy session can cost you more than $100.

While this device offers a natural treatment option instead of harmful prescription pain medications and it's 100% safe for you and your dog, it's not affordable for everyone. Keep in mind that if your dog needs this treatment, the LumaSoothe light therapy for pets device will actually save you money after the first few treatments.

You can purchase the LumaSoothe tool for $149.95 on Amazon. Compared to the cost of light therapy treatments at the vet, this device will pay for itself in the first couple of days! It's also rechargeable, so you won't have any additional costs for batteries, and if you order through the company's website they will ship it for free. If you have Amazon Prime you can also get free 2-day shipping.
